The Touch is like 80's hair metal (without the hair) and at least to me it's pretty cheesy. I just don't see the attraction.

Sorry, 31 years of this, it becomes predictable.
Hey remember how the lead singer of the most heavy at that moment turned bitch and did the song for the first Spider-Man.

I always try to make it a point and mock top 40!
I was teethed on metal of the 70's&80's. Still I'm cursed with people thinking of hairglam crap and Michael Bolton's "Everybodies Crazy" each time I bring that up.

Eh, at least in that last trailer they seemed to have a symphonic variation on the classic TF theme. That & IIRC Stan Bush is coming up with something to add to the soundtrack.

There is nothing emo about the Goo Goo Dolls...
Emo is Fall Out Boys, Hawthorne Heights, and The Used.
The Goo Goo Dolls are Soft Rock/Alt Rock.
Remember people there is a love story between Shia and that chick going on too.
and it looks like between Josh whatever and his wife too.
The movie maybe be about giant robots, but there are other factors to it too.
I personally like the song, and no, that doesn't make me less of a man like one poster said

Of course it will also play after the triumphant end scoring during the scroll while everyone's giving thier girlfriend a squeeze before getting up.

Apex Convoy wrote:Oh, God, please, no Metallica! I think that this movie should go the route of *surprise* 300, and just integrate metal sounds with symphonics.
Agreed. No wuss rock, no retarded thug metal either. Just a great score comprised of orchestral symphonies laid over industrial beats and guitars.
I think the only conventional "songs" heard in the movie should be either coming from Bumblebee or just overheard in the settings.
Apex Convoy wrote: The music from the trailer sounded badass
If you mean the 300 trailer, that was an instrumental called "Just Like You Imagined" by Nine Inch Nails, a great example of moving music with some weight to it.

I felt the same way reading your post.
Seriously people, this is ONE song from an entire album. Other artists have yet to be confirmed. Just because the movie is based around huge metallic robots at war doesn't automatically mean the music should be heavy metal. There's the human love relationship aspect as well which this song is obviously aiming for.
Once again, jumping to conclusions with the movie.

Thanks Bay, thanks for turing the soundtrack into something lame.
I am still holding out hope for some epic orchestral/electronica/metal and the original theme snuck in there as well for the OST. If so, I will buy it. If not, I will not buy the OST.
But this song does NOT fit. Not in the least.
Galvatron is not pleased.

For all the people who think this is a bit "Nickleback" just remember that Goo Goo Dolls have been around a fair whack longer.

You sir, are a man of taste.
I always advocated Ozzy's "Iron Man" for Megatron's awakening scene, as he starts standing up, and it gets faster as he destroys the interior of the Sector 7 bunker in which he is contained (This is not a spoiler, just a theory on how he revives in the film, and the ensuing chaos he causes).
Some Joe Satriani would also be great for metal hand-to-hand combat scenes. The whole "good vs. evil" orchestral crap is waayyy overplayed. Look at Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Spiderman, etc. etc. etc.
I love orchestrfa, but it has been diluded by films, that IMHO, are NOT, I repeat, NOT EPIC.
Star Wars...epic.
Spiderman...um, NOT epic.
But a film with giant robots killing each other...should have metal and electronica (over 130 BPM).
Want a clue? Download DaRude's "Sandstorm". That would kick during a battle.
Posted by LuckytheWonderLlama on May 22nd, 2007 @ 1:13am CDT
According to IMDB he composed the music for the Trailer as well.
Based on the music from the movies that I have seen on his list and the music from the Trailer, the orchestral score is in very good hands.
PS, I can't get the Link to the Streaming File to work!

When Worlds Collide!!! YESSSS!!!!!
That would be so perfect and fitting the theme of "Their War. our World." It would rule in a battle scene!
Alas, we did not make the film, and the Goo Goos song will probably play during a death scene or something. lol
I think Stan Bush deserves to be in the OST, IMHO. And the orchestral variation to the original theme is a tasteful nod to the faithful who have kept the course since G1.
At least the orchestra will pwn, if nothing else.

Yes, a Judas Priest, Megadeath, Iron Maiden compilation soundtrack, or if you could actually resurrect enough of these bands to produce originals, would rock so much more ... maybe, but that's not what a commercial blockbuster soundtrack strives for. My guess, most of the songs on this soundtrack album won't even be in the film per se, just the credit sequence. I mean, we're talking about a film going for a 13 and up demographic, and as much of that demo as possible. It ain't gonna be "hard", sorry to say.

'The Touch' would have buried the TFs shot of getting back onto the pop culture radar. It'd be mocked even at ComicCon. Mark Wahlberg covered it in Boogie Nights because it was _Lame_. That was the joke.

Yes, Napalm Death should've done the whole sound design for the film. But realistically, metal just isn't mainstream enough to justify a dedicated soundtrack within the genre ... wouldn't get airplay, wouldn't get sales.... Movies are a biz.

Stan's trying to come up with something "for" the soundtrack on his own. The producers never approached him, and he has no contract to do so. He may well write a new "transformers song" but that doesn't mean it'll end up on the soundtrack.
PM5K would be a pretty cool soundtrack for the 80s animated movie, in fact I think I was just inspired for some mash ups. That said, I think a PM5K soundtrack for the live action film may push it too far into a cartoonish direction, and while it's a giant robot war movie, I think they're trying to avoid being too cartoonish.
I dunno, the "guy's movie" when I was a kid, Top Gun ... well the soundtrack was a little lame ... lots of softies. Didn't prevent everyone wooping it up when the jets were going at each other. I don't think this'll be any diff.

Anyway that song wasnt too bad but what the film really needs is something that encorporates at least 3 different genres of music. For example something like the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children soundtrack would kick ass in this movie.

Look, if musics good, it's good reguardless of genra! But I been hearing some crap song lately about an umbrela and I swear, they ran out of words about a third of the way through that song. And yes that deserves to be mocked along with all the other tunes that fall into that collective "I love you more than my Peeps.." WHat the hell is that!?!
Now I also agree that a Pure Metal SoundTrack sadly just wouldn't work, but something with an edge would be nice, someone mentioned PowerMan 5000, maybe some Sound of Urchin, Get One True Thing for the romance end, Give DragonForce a montage, and let KMFDM round off the score with Cubanate.
And also my friend, all the example bands you mentioned, not only still record but they also tour every summer! Check your facts.

What would be really good is if Wu-Tang and Metallica both did their own personal interpretations of the Transformers Theme tune. That would be cool and MORE CREATIVE than this GOO DOlls thing.
At least do something interesting.

Yes get 2 bands that have really done nothing much of note in the last 10 years to make a very niche song that will only appeal to the people that frequent this site and it's sister sites. Let's not do something that will get out a larger audience as a whole.
You gotta start looking at the big picture conceptron. This isnt something that is meant to just appeal to the 10 or 20,000 tf fans out there.(probably more but I just needed a number) This is meant for the millions and MILLIONS of movie fans that are getting more interested in this movie the closer we get to 7/4/7
